We’re just days away from The X Factor live shows starting and the newly formed eight-piece boyband still don’t have a name yet – or do they?

The eagle-eyed will have noticed that they changed their collective Twitter handle yesterday from @thenewboyband to @xf8boyband.

While a bit cheesy and 90s-tastic, XF8 could work, but no, don’t go writing it over your school exercise books just yet as members Barclay Beales, Chris Leonard, Casey Johnson, Jake Sims, James Graham, Tom Mann, Charlie Jones and Reece Bibby are still after suggestions for what they should be called.

Tweeting after the confusing Twitter move, they said: ‘STILL going through all your suggestions! Some strong ones in here 💪 whichever one we choose, we look forward to meeting you! – the boys x’
